Men's Lacrosse Weekly Release - Week 3

PRINCETON, N.J. - Cornell and Yale are two of
seven remaining unbeaten teams nationally as week three of Ivy
League men's lacrosse cranks up.

The Big Red moved to 3-0 with a pair of wins last
week, while Yale held on to beat Bryant and move to 2-0. Cornell
topped backyard-rival Binghamton on Tuesday and then went to Ann
Arbor and beat Michigan in overtime.

However, it was Penn that had the biggest win of the
weekend. The then No. 20-ranked Quakers hosted sixth-ranked Denver
on Saturday and came away with a 12-10 win.

Friday and Saturday will see two more big
nonconference showdowns involving Ivies. Princeton entertains North
Carolina on Friday evening in a game that will be televised by
ESPNU. Also, Cornell gets its first big test of the 2014 season
when it hosts Virginia on Saturday. That game will be streamed live
on The Ivy League® Digital Network. This week, three
games will be shown on the League's new home for live coverage from
around the Ancient Eight.

In addition, Penn's game at Villanova on Saturday
night will be shown in Fox College Sports-Atlantic.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Cornell junior attack Matt Donovan
(Morristown, N.J.) scored eight goals in two wins for The Big Red
last week. Donovan had three tallies in a 14-8 win over
backyard-rival Binghamton on Tuesday. He followed that up be
finding the net five times in Saturday’s thrilling 15-14 win
over Michigan, including the game-winner with 1:41 left in the
first overtime.

Penn freshman attack Kevin Brown
(Fairfield, Conn.) had a team-high three goals as the Quakers
upended top-10 ranked Denver, 12-10, on Saturday afternoon. Brown
scored in each of the first three quarters and two of Brown’s
goals came in man-up situations as Penn was again solid in the man
advantage (going 3-for-5).

Earlier in the week, Brown recorded his first
collegiate tally in a 14-4 win over St. Joseph’s.
